WE'LL BE WAITING A WHILE LONGER TO LEARN IF A BIG CASINO AND ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX WILL BE BUILT IN KENOSHA. GOVERNOR WALKER ON FRIDAY SAID HE NEEDED MORE TIME TO DECIDE WHETHER THE MENOMINEE TRIBE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THEIR PLANNED CASINO AT THE SITE OF THE FORMER DAIRYLAND GREYHOUND PARK. THE TENTATIVE DEADLINE I SET IS NOT PRACTICAL DUE TO DUE DILIGENCE. EVEN THOUGH THE DEADLINE OF 60 DAYS HAS COME AND PASS, THEY SUBMITTED INFORMATION AT THAT POINT, I'M GOING TO TAKE MORE TIME TO VIEW IT. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WHAT'S AT STAKE HERE WITH STEVE JAGLER, EXECUTIVE EDITOR OF BIZ TIMES MILWAUKEE. GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK ON THE PROGRAM. WE NOW HAVE IS WAITING PERIOD AGAIN. THE GOVERNOR SAYS THE TRIBES CAN TALK AMONGST THEMSELVES. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT IS AT STAKE HERE, YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS NOT HAPPENING IMMEDIATELY. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE ECONOMICS OF THIS. THE ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL CONSEQUENCES OF ALL OF THIS CANNOT BE OVERSTATED. ECONOMICALLY SPEAKING THE KENOSHA PROJECT WOULD BE A GAME CHANGER FOR THE KENOSHA AREA, IT WOULD BE A GAME CHANGER FOR SOUTHEAST WISCONSIN AS FAR AS CREATING A HARD ROCK CASINO, THAT WOULD BE A REGIONAL DESTINATION THAT WOULD DRAW MONEY AND PEOPLE FROM ILLINOIS. IT WOULD BE A GAME CHANGER FOR THE MENOMINEE TRIBE. MENOMINEE COUNTY HAS THE HIGHEST UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN THIS STATE. IT WOULD BE A GAME CHANGER BEFORE WE EVEN GET INTO THE POLITICS. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE POLITICS. THERE IS A FASCINATING SUBTEXT TO THIS ENTIRE CONVERSATION. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE LOOKING OUT FOR THEIR OWN SELF INTERESTS. YOU SEE IT PLAYING OUT -- MY SOURCES ARE TELLING ME THAT THE GOVERNOR'S CAMP IS WEIGHING DUE TO COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS WHAT IS TO BE GAINED OR LOST DECIDED ON ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER BY THE KENOSHA PROJECT. ON ONE HAND HE COULD DENY THE PROJECT TO GO FORWARD IN KENOSHA , THAT WOULD BE A COST OF NOT DOING BUSINESS THAT WOULD COST HIM IN 2014, PRESUMING HE RUNS FOR REELECTION. THE BENEFIT OF DOING THAT WOULD BE THAT THE GOVERNOR VIRTUALLY GUARANTEED TO RECEIVE SIGNIFICANT CAMPAIGN DONATIONS UP TO $2 BILLION COMBINED FROM THE PAD A LOT OF ME TRIED -- FROM THE TRIBES THAT WOULD NOT GIVE ONE SENT TO THE DEMOCRATIC CONTENDER. THERE HAVE BEEN RECENT REPORTS THAT THERE HAS BEEN SOME MONEY GIVEN TO REPUBLICAN CONSTANT -- REPUBLICAN CAUSES BY THE TRIBES. M A SOME PEOPLE HOPE THAT SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY, IN THE 11TH HOUR THE GOVERNOR CAN FIND A SOLUTION THAT CAN MAKE EVERYBODY INVOLVED HAPPY. WE'RE CERTAINLY NOT SEEING THE SIGNS OF LIKELIHOOD WITH THAT. AND A FLAT OUT SAID THEY STILL DO NOT WANT THIS, THEY STILL HAVE THE SAME OBJECTIONS. THEY HINTED AT THE CRIMINAL INFLUENCES INVOLVES IN THIS. THEY DO NOT SEEM TO BE BACKING DOWN AN INCH. NOT AT ALL. IT DOES NOT SURPRISE ME THAT OPPONENTS OF THIS PROJECT, OF THE KENOSHA PROJECT, WOULD HAVE USED THE WORDS CORRECT HISTORY. IT HAS BEEN SURPRISING TO ME THEY WOULD SPECIFICALLY USE THOSE WORDS TO DESCRIBE AN OUT- OF-STATE NATIVE AMERICANS TRIED, TO USE THOSE WORDS TARGETED SPECIFICALLY AGAINST THE TRIBE, THAT SURPRISED ME. BOTTOM LINE FOR THE GOVERNOR, IF YOU MADE A $250,000 JOBS PROMISE, THOUSANDS OF NEW JOBS , AND POLITICALLY SPEAKING THERE ARE A LOT OF HOPES IN KENOSHA COUNTY. HE IS AWARE OF THAT. ANNA HE IS IN A TOUGH SPOT AND HE KNOWS IT. -- HE IS IN A TOUGH SPOT AND HE KNOWS IT. UNLESS HE IS ABLE TO FIND A COMPROMISE THAT WORKS HE IS GOING TO HAVE TO PICK A WINNER OR LOSER. TO SOME DEGREE HE DID THAT WHEN HE ESTABLISHED HIS CRITERIA FOR THIS CASINO PROJECT TO GO THROUGH, KNOWING FULL WELL THAT IT WOULD BE VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THE TRIBES TO SIGN OFF ON IT. UNLESS THEY CAN COME UP WITH THAT 11TH HOUR SOLUTION THAT MAKES EVERYBODY HAPPY, HE IS GOING TO HAVE TO PICK A WINNER AND A LOSER.
